Several of our TRF guys are rocket supply vendors, or check out the auctions on R.O.L., or you could cruise around ebay, or go to McMaster-Carr (get a trainload at a time?).

Yea, I bought some nichrome from eBay recently. Just search for 'nichrome 32' or whatever guage you're looking for. Many hits will pop up, mostly from rocketeers.

Last I checked, Firefox carries it:

'bout half way down, past all the neato fusing. They also carry a copper alloy wire that is reputed to have similar properties as Nichrome.....
